That's the kind of thing that can happen if somehow Mail suddenly thinks it is seeing a new account or an existing account fort the first time.
Somehow all of the email in the trash not yet removed and all email remaining on the server get reloaded. I've had 4 copies of each of 200+ emails show up covering the last two months. I clear it all out, empty the Mail trash, and then do a Safe boot. That fixes it until the net time, which is usually several years, or until I re-configure an existing account with a new password.
Screwy stuff, but it happens. I still have not figured out what triggers it. I tried rebuilding Mail once and regretted it.
